Pity this ROM has the same issues with big system fonts. I mean they are bigger than they have to be :(

Try to move the slider in the "Screen" settings (rightmost tab - text size). When it's in the middle, the text is actually more than it should be. Some programs have issues with this.

This can be solved by moving the slider to the leftmost position. But, in this case, the font becomes too small.

Panosha's ROM has the same issue. Someone complained in his thread today.

Dutty's doesn't.

Official WWE doesn't.

Pity :(

PS: I've also tried playing with the system font size in SKTools. No luck.

I don't know where in the registry these settings must be.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] niels_90:
I'm using the ROM for a few hours and I must say I'm very happy I decided to flash this ROM after reading some positive comments in this topic.

Finally someone how decide to bring a ROM without a million tweaks. All the other I tried (many:D) are full of bugs because they tweaked so much that they all have bugs in it that this one hasn't.

But there is one thing that I used in my previous ROM (dutty's 3.3) that I liked. The right bottom home key: All people. I used HD tweak, but the only function that come close is Contacts. When you press Contacts in the home menu, you'll be forwarding to contacts Windows infterface style. But I like the HTC interface much more than the boring old Windows 6.1 interface. Is there a registry tweak so I can add this button?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Dmitry,

The text size is set in the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI]
"CurFont"=dword:0000041A
"FontArray"="720,900,1050,1200,1300"

It is the default set in an hTC rgu file from the Topaz rom (official Topaz WWE rom 1.40). So you get the exact same setting like on Topaz :)

I can remove the code in a new version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You can assign a program to a softkey by editting e.g. the following registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"="Contacts"
"HomeLSKPath"="poutlook.exe"
"HomeLSKArguments"="contacts"
"HomeRSKText"="Programs"
"HomeRSKPath"="\\Windows\\manila.exe"
"HomeRSKArguments"="--switchtopage Manila://programs.page"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Maybe they chose to have the fonts a little bigger on the Topaz due to the smaller screen than Blackstone (although the screen resolusion of course is the same).

top bar icons

i was wondering if could share the top bar icons cab file. i love that format, but have been unable to find it. found others but like them. thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
brian's updated task bar

this brian's update task bar.

install by numbers:

1-sdkcerts

2-Brians updated HTC Task_Bar.cab

3-Brians BT_Stereo_Headset.cab

sometimes you'll need also:

4-Spike's_Notify.dll(2).cab

5-Spike's_ [Albino]_MMSres_Fix.cab

i usually install them one after another and only at the end a softreset:D

i uploaded it for you here (new link!)

found the original thread in raphel software forums: here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I think so hamkeng. By the way, by default the FontArray registry setting is empty. You can set CurFont to 320 to get a small font.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI]
"CurFont"=dword:00000320
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ildopod:
Wow, Thanks so much! Another rom flash definitely!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
It's a really good ROM!!!

Just a question, how can we close Opera permanently? It always run on the background and when i terminate it... it opens by itself again!

You can not see it running with HTC Task Manager, but you can see it with WkTask Manager.

SOLUTION: Solved this problem by making the following registry changes:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Preload]

"RealExit"=dword: 1

&

[HKLM\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine]

"Enable"=dword: 0
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pw120:
Cerato gave me this tweak a while back

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila

HomeRSKPath=\Windows\manila.exe

HomeRSKText= Contacts

HomeRSKArguments = --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\peopleAll.page

Change RSK to LSK if you want it on the left button

Thanks for the rom kwbr!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ccw523:
kwbr, what is the difference between this one and your other Topix 1.3.3 ? which one should I flash? thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rxdoctor:
any chance of a request?

I love the rom but I also love ms voice command and just do not like cyberon voice on the device at all. Any chance of getting this perfect rom or the topix rom w/out cyberon voice? TIA and I really must say I was a energy rom fan for a long time until I tried your roms they are the best in my eyes once you get rid of cyberon so I can install the voice dialer I like you can replace it with msvc....beers are on the way :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
This rom is a Topaz port. Vanilla means without any extra's. Just the programs from the Topaz rom like the stock rom. Only a slightly better release then the original rom :)

Topix is a tweaked rom with additional software. Built with parts from various roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] carina77:
kwbr,

i just noticed a newer version of your vanilla series v2.0...great!

what's the difference apart from the font size and memory available??? (i noticed that the zipped file size of this ROM is getting smaller compared to your last version 1.2.1)

is cvsd still cooked in the ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] niels_90:
Again a new version:D

I keep flashing these days:p

Is this a final release or will there be a new version released one of these days? Using 1.2.1 now, and it works very good.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
This is supposed to be the final version. I can't think of any big improvements for now :)

Happy flashing. Nice you enjoy the rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
Is it still not uploaded yet? :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
I think that vanilla version must be without Cyberon voice or MS voice command. Only on topix ones!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] niels_90:
RAM usage on 2.0 is about 47% (Opera not on background) so that's very nice. Good work mate.

One question.. When I press done in Comm Manager I noticed that it doesn't exit but keeps running in background. Is there a registry tweak so it does actually exit when I press done?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
The same works in every ROM. You can choose another task manager (ie WkTask) that really closes it when you press the X button.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
excellent memory management!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abandoned-Trolley:
This works great for changing the font size on the front screens, would you know the registry entries to change the size to be smaller on the text/email composing screens as they stay the same size as indicated on the slider.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gadjet:
Well done..:)

Many thanks kwbr for an excellant release, day 2 of testing your ROM.

Did the original Topaz ROM have the HTC Footprints tab? The reason I ask is that I have the cab file to instal footprints but not the ability to create a touch flo tab for footprints.

Keep up the good work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigQ:
This rom very stable,i love official style rom.

Thank you kwbr.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
No it doesn't.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nanoo-eg:
Vanilla it is one from the best rom.

The only I have say, it is about the sound. I think it is very low.

HD Tweaks don't help because after that we have hight sound but very bad quality.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
kwbr,

A cab of the latest build of Cyberon Voice Speed Dial would make me happy. :)

Thanks in advance.

Internet Sharing Bug

Bug Report:

Using Vanilla Series Topaz 2.0 on Thouch HD

When connecting to laptop via USB it suggests

- Active Sync

- Disk Drive

- Internet Sharing

When I select Internet Sharing I get:

The file 'IntShr' caonnot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file.'

If I turn on internet sharing manually it works fine (start->All programs->Internet Sharing->Connect)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Confirmed bug with Internet Sharing :(

I wonder how long it will take until we find more bugs :(

By the way, kwbr, as you have removed CVSD, it could be better to change the default assignment of the long press on green key. It still says "Voice Speed Dial".

After I installed CSVD, I had to choose a different action for this button, then choose Voice Speed Dial again to make it work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:
I don't confirm this bug (internet sharing). In my HD all works fine. Vanilla Series Topaz 2.0 is a the best ROM I've ever used. Good work Mr. kwbr.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Will be fixed in release 2.1.

Two cabs added on the start page. Now you can choose Voice Dialer or Voice Commander :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] niels_90:
I think the following problems are global problems and not only in this rom:

- When i'm sending a sms, sometimes it takes up to a 5 minutes untill the sms send notification come.

- If I send a sms to someone, and receive a couple of minutes later a sms of the same guy, it is shown above the message I send. So there's something wrong with the time. Something like this:

Friend (20:55) // Real time: 21:03

"I'm okay"

Me (21:00)

"How are you?"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
This is really weird!

I hard reset this morning and tried to connect to my home PC. Same bug.

Two PCs with different systems (Win 7 at home, Win XP SP3 at work) with same results.

How come you don't experience this issue?

Did you really try to connect using the "Internet Sharing" option? ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:
Yes. I really tried and I don't know why this is happening. I hate when my HD doesn't work perfectly, so I read about this problem immediately connected HD to laptop (Vista Home Premium) to check it. I selected Internet Sharing, HD wrote "conected" and icon HDSPDA showed transmission. Active Sync and Disc Drive work too.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:
In stock ROM (1.56 WWE) sms notification doesn't work. In this ROM, text "message send" I see about 4 second from sending.

In all ROMs I've ever tested, date and time sending / arriving sms work correct.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Version 2.1

New version is online.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gadjet:
Your ROM is now my benchmark for others..:)

Downloading now, awesome...:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Pity :(

You ignored our bug reports about the Internet Sharing Issue :(

Now, if Internet Sharing is selected once you connect to a PC, besides the error window saying about the not found or untrusted app, you can't connect to a PC later on. Because you don't see the popup window offering you to choose a connection type. You get the same error window immediately upon connecting the cable.

OK. I'll stay off for a while :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Who says I ignore user requests. All are granted so far except for the Internet sharing. Worked hard on a new release. Still looking for a clue on this one and I know what causes this but still looking for a patch which I will release as a cab. If you don't like it don't use it, or even better, help us to find a solution :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Can u provide a change log please if u dont mind?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
I suspect the cause is this killer AS app! This nasty name says a lot :)

I even tried removing it from auto startup, no luck.

As you claim that this ROM is an almost pure Topar port, kill this asynckiller.

People who use this ROM do know about the fake exchange servers and manual schedule, to prevent AS from starting randomly.

What do you think?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
It's not as killer. I got it :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Two more minor issues.

1.

The 1st SMS that I receive (until I go to Sounds and Notifications and simple check the sound that is configured for incoming text messages and click "ok") comes with a default system "blip" instead of the sound that I see in "Sounds & Notifications".

2.

Same "blip" is heard at device boot. HD Tweak shows me that the boot sound is disabled though. If I enable it in HD Tweak, no sounds are heard at boot :)

Weird things these are... :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
I confirm the above! :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:
Previous version in my HD works good, so I going to wait for next release, I hope, bugs free.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You have an extraordinary, fantastic bug-free device! :)

Actually, it must a bug-fixing device :)

I mean that all previous versions of kwbr's ROM had this same issue too.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] paspa86:
Hi, i flashed with this rom, i like it very much.

One question, how can I reach the windows mobile start menu? Tapping on start it opens the program menu...

any advice?

thanks,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Search other ROM threads for a cab, which will replace this for the "Classic" Start Menu.

There's also a registry key here, which will help:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ the key is called "EnableStartMenu". Set it to "0".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] paspa86:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athanaso77:
No such bug from my point of view.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezjacek:
Yes. It's small issue. I wrote that ROM in my HD works good.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:

Final tests. It will be a faster rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Ah, come on!!!

I've been walking around with a naked device waiting for the new version for several days!

Will we see the new version tonight? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Yes, upload starts now. Rom stays under 100MB and free program memory after first boot ~100MB and free storage memory is 350MB! And you still get a full featured Topaz port.

If you thought the previous version was fast, try this :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Thanks. But then again:

1. SMS come with a default system sound until you go to sounds and notifications and configure a proper sound.

2. Default bootup sound can't be found at startup. Blip is heard.

3. Settings ->System Tab -> Input -> Options Tab -> Voice recording format: open the drop down list. There are some empty lines.

These were noticed within half an hour after flashing.

Sorry for being annoying, but I feel very uneasy staying on a ROM, which will presumable bring more bugs after I install all the software I am used to use :(

Sorry again.

I sent you a greeting a couple of days ago, by the way. Not sure if it has arrived. Just tell me if not.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi dmitry, first of all thanks for the feedback again. There will be a new version for those that miss the start up sound. Kiddin' : ) If this are the only issues I don't consider this real bugs. They will be taken care of anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] niels_90:
Use HD Tweak to enable the start up sound. It's disabled by default.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
That's right. When disabled, no sound must be heard.

But the system blip is heard, which makes me think there's something wrong with the boot procedure. Something fails to start during boot. Well, maybe I'm wrong.

kwbr,

By the way, I am still trying hard to stay with Manila and do not disable it :)

Can you suggest a tweak, which could force Manila to enable searching for contacts with Cyrillic characters in names?

I tried Spb Keyboard, Finger Keyb 2.1 - no luck. When I enter Russian characters, no contacts are shown. This issue is only applicable for Manila contacts. WM contacts work fine.

Thanks again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Nothing wrong with the boot process. I just removed the sound file because I think it is annoying. Will be back in a new release :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abandoned-Trolley:
Great ROM and not too sure if it's a bug, but having a problem with the volume rocker on the side of the phone. It will bring up the volume screen but then go back to manilla without moving the volume. Will probably do a hard reset and see if it's something I had installed doing it if no one can confirm. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
kwbr,

You've disabled the new HTC shut down dialog in 2.2. Accidentally? ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
kwbr,

Just tried a Russian ROM (I just needed to test something :) ).

It has neither flip-it nor any other such 3rd party apps, but Opera rotates fine with Pushinternet disabled. What's the culprit in Vanilla?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
A leftover from a test last night :)

The Topaz power app has a bug on blackstone which I fixed in version 2.2. Same as the IntShr bug it seems not all Topaz apps are 100% portable from scratch and need some patching. New shutdown will be back in the upcoming release. SMS notification and startup sound will also be default Topaz in 2.2.1. The two missing entries in voice recording format are default. I think we should have a pretty good Topaz port by now.

It does in Topix. It depends on the sensorSDK package you use. It is either the sensorsdk from blackstone (and you get the wrong photo/album rotation when using Topaz camera) or the sensor sdk from topaz (when you disable pushinet opera does not rotate). It is the way hTC programmed things.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You seem to be so very active today :) Which is good to see.

Will we have 2.2.1 by tonight?

I hope I will be able to settle on 2.2.1 for quite a while.

And I will have no time on the weekend to flash and configure, 'cause two 5,5-month old girls do require some attention :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stokesie:
memory

seems nice and stable just had a quick flash & play.

noticed that this release uses 50%+ memory which is more than i usually see in other releases.

is this due to being based on stock rom or is it something todo with new drivers for gfx?

keep up the good work looking forward to new topix cheers:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Uploading.

This is because it is a stock rom. So blame hTC :)

Topix has more free program memory.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stokesie:
wow are u sitting on refresh page button or what.

lol:D

Q, the new gfx drivers. do they improve mp4 playback?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Search this thread for "pushinternet", and you'll be able to free up around 9 MB, if you don't care about Opera rotation or don't mind using flip-it if you do care ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
Managed rotating Opera when pushinternet is diabeled, the folowing smal program seems to work good on the 2.2 ROM. No probem with photo/album rotation. :D

Remark: It turns out that G-Config (Configurator for the new SensorSDK 4) is not necessary, just adOpera to the Whitelist seems adequate

Try G-Config (Configurator for the new SensorSDK 4) from Makeveral you find it at > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487991

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
I started with 30 (both) :D

Well, after I experiment with other outcomes, I come to the conclusion that it does not matter what you specify, sorry!!

somewhat misleading, the speed of the connection affects te whole interpretation.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
ROBLANS,

It seems that adding the value you offered doesn't help rotating Opera :(

I mean "HTC"="Opera_MainWndClass"

I started G-Config, started Opera, inserted the stylus, it added this value ok.

Then I had two values, this and the default "Opera"="Opera_MainWndClass".

Deleting the default value didn't help either.

Of course, I soft-reset after each experiment.

PS: Opera starts rotating only if you start it, then start, e.g. Calculator, rotate the device, close Calculator, return to Opera. Then it rotates until you close it and start again.
